The Education of Sebastian by Jane Harvey-Berrick

Publisher Synopsis: A friendship between the lost and lonely Caroline, and the unhappy Sebastian, leads to an illicit love that threatens them both.
Caroline Wilson is trapped in a cold and loveless marriage with an older man. When her husband finally wins a long sought-after promotion, Caroline feels she has little choice but to follow him to a new home in San Diego. There she meets Sebastian, a young man of 17.
For an all too brief summer, their happiness blooms.
But external pressures begin to bear down, not least from the overbearing David, and Sebastian’s parents begin to suspect that their son has a secret. Even Caroline’s new friend, Donna, realises that dark passions exist below the serene surface.

Recommendation

I admit that I don't necessarily agree with statutory rape laws as it applies to everyone. That said, if you have issues with an older woman of 30-years-old having a sexual relationship with someone who is 17-years-old, don't read this book.
I loved this book. I loved the love story, the struggles of each character, and because I'm masochistic, I loved the ending, epilogue, and teaser for the follow up book. Knowing what's coming with the next book* made me love this book even more. [December 2012]

I loved this book. It was so easy to fall I love with the characters. You tend to forget the age difference, but when it comes up it actually makes you a little uncomfortable. However, I believe that was the author’s intentions. Great story, great second book too!! Worth the read.
